Inception: Dream a Little Dream

Friday night I saw Inception with a big group of friends. I've been wanting to see this movie for however long, and quite frankly, had hoped it would be the movie that saved summer. Now I get to judge for myself.

To get a really great view of Leonardo, Ellen, Joseph and all the other cast members, we saw Inception at the IMAX. Whoa! What a huge screen!

Let's get on with it, shall we!

Inception is the story of a man (DiCaprio) and his teammates, who are all trained in the art of extraction--going into someone's dream in hopes of stealing a secret from their mind.

A botched job and past problems lead DiCaprio and his friends on a mission to form inception--going into someone's dream in hopes of placing an idea into their head.

They find that the dream world is undeniably less predictable than the real world, full of surprises and maybe even quite dangerous.

As the characters delve deeper into their dream states, it becomes harder to determine what's real and what's simply a dream: like The Matrix but with a Christopher Nolan twist.

The acting was great because the movie had a remarkable cast. The imagery was amazing too. Go see this movie because it's super interesting, highly entertaining and, frankly, the best movie of the summer (Toy Story 3 is a close 2nd though). Be sure to keep a totem on hand just in case you get caught up in the dream.

I saw this movie in the drive-in Saturday night! I totally agree with you that it is one of the best movies of the year. I love movies that really make you think and this was definitely an amazing mind-bender. Plus, it's refreshing to see a movie with an original plot these days. Lol.
